Lessons in Entitlement Reform

How Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich Almost Saved Social Security

09/08/2008 - 12:15pm

New America Foundation

1630 Connecticut Ave, NW 7th Floor

Washington, 20009

On October 28th, 1997, House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton held a secret meeting where they reached a groundbreaking deal to create a centrist political coalition to reform Social Security and Medicare. Although the Lewinsky scandal ultimately undermined their agreement, the efforts of these men, and others in Congress, might serve as a model for members of both parties interested in addressing the long-term shortfalls in the nation's entitlement programs.

Steven Gillon will discuss the details of how this secret agreement came to be, as first revealed in his new book, The Pact: Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and the Rivalry That Defined a Generation. Gillon will be joined by Charles Blahous and Ed Lorenzen, who were involved in bipartisan reform efforts during Clinton's presidency, working on opposite sides of the aisle. The panelists will discuss what can be learned from the reform efforts of the 1990s, and address the question of whether, and in what political environment, entitlement reform is possible.

Free Snickers Game @ University of Alabama
November 14, 2007

Students toss balls into a bucket in order to win the prize they have been promised: a big king size snickers candy bar. However, just like our future promised benefits, when they complete the game, ie retire, they receive bit size snickers bars. The player's disappointment simulates the same that we will feel when our generation retires if nothing is done to reform our Social Security system
